If I were to pick one person out of the whole Bible and give them the title of righteous based upon what they're doing, it wouldn't be a lot.

I'm sorry, what that man did is not the definition of righteous.

But that's how we mostly think about godliness and righteousness. It's a comparative of who obeys the law.

I didn't do these things, therefore I'm righteous. You did those things, therefore you're unrighteous, but that's not the definition that Hebrews and Peter uses.

They come up with a different definition.

So today's podcast, Justin and I are going to talk about how could Peter call Noah and Lot righteous?

And why would he do that?

Stay tuned.

Hey, guys, this is Justin.

Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ,

but you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life? How is he involved in my

sanctification even? Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life

goes up and down?

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven,

how being in Christ changes everything that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6.

You can find this book at Theocast.org. Welcome to Theocast, where we encourage weary pilgrims like you to rest in Christ.

Why? Because he is mighty and able to save even you.

He is sufficient. He has done it all. Here on Theocast, we have conversations about the Christian

life from a confessional reform and pastoral perspective. And when we say all those things,

we really mean they're like genuine gospel-centered conversations.

We take the clutter off of the gospel.
